Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet, skin-sides up. Drizzle with oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast until a thermometer inserted in thickest parts registers 160 degrees, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes, then remove bones and thinly slice.
- Combine cauliflower, lemon zest, and 3 tablespoons lemon juice. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Let stand 20 minutes. Stir in shallot, 3 tablespoons oil, and chopped herbs. Toss kale, carrots, and chickpeas with remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Divide cauliflower mixture among plates; serve with salad, chicken, and herb leaves.
Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is firm and white, with no signs of bruising or wilting.
- Grate the cauliflower finely: This will help it absorb the dressing and other ingredients better.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs will give your tabbouleh the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
- Don't overdress the tabbouleh: The dressing should just lightly coat the cauliflower and other ingredients.
- Let the tabbouleh chill before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Conclusion:
Cauliflower tabbouleh is a delicious and healthy side dish or main course. It's a great way to use up leftover cauliflower, and it's also a good option for people who are looking for a gluten-free or low-carb dish. With its bright flavors and crunchy texture, cauliflower tabbouleh is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
